Delta State Government, weekend, said it would not abandon flood victims across the state as rising water level threatens those living in coastal communities.

The Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Sir Festus Ahon, gave the assurance during a television programme monitored in Asaba.

According to him, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori remained committed to ensuring that all residents of the state were protected and catered for in line with his administration’s M.O.R.E Agenda.

He, however, called on those living in flood-prone areas to relocate to higher grounds as the government was making adequate arrangements to accommodate them at the Internally Displaced ( IDP) Camps nearest to them.

He said: “As soon as we got the warning on the impending flood, our hard working Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, set up a high-powered flood management Committee headed by the Secretary to the State Government, Dr Kingsley Emu.

“The Committee went straight to work and we have been alerting residents living in such flood-prone areas to move to higher grounds.

“In the interim, we are setting up camps in Asaba, Kwale, Patani, Ozoro and Otu-Jeremi for the people to move in.

“The flood management Committee, in collaboration with the State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) and the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) has been going round coastal communities to enlighten the people that the flood is coming and they should move to the camps nearest to them.

“As a responsible government, the Oborevwori’s administration is ever committed to ensuring the safety of lives of all residents across the state.

“As a Committee, we have made arrangements for mattresses, feeding, electricity, water and medicals for the IDPs and we urge them to relocate to the camps nearest to them.

“Aside from the above provisions, we have also made arrangements for school children to be taught in the camps”.
